Plus tubes of your choice. I'm using one of "Layana's"Please remember to add copyrightOpen the sunset in PSP and minimize it.

Open a new canvas 400 x 400. Flood fill with black.Add a new layer.Click on your pre set shape tool. Use these settings.

Set your material pallette to Stroke white / fill null.Draw a rectangle on one side of canvas, so it looks like this

On layer pallette, Duplicat this, then go to Image Mirror.You now have two rectangles.Add a new layerClick on pre set shapes tool again, tick "Create as Vector" in your settings.Draw another rectangle in the centre, slightly higher. Use the nodes on it to place it so its just not touching the others.Like this

On your layer pallette. Right click on the vector layer and convert to raster.Hide background layer then, Layers / Merge / Merge visable.Click on your magic wand, Hold shift key down, And click in the 3 boxes, You should have marching ants in them all.

Click on text tool then on canvas, A text box comes up.Write your name. It will be sat across the canvas, with a box around it.Your layer pallette will look like this, with a cross on the side

Click on the cross and your text will show below it.Right click on your text and go to / convert text to curves / as character shapes.

Now if you click on the "+" next to name, it will open up with all the letters in your name

Now as you click on each letter in layer Pallette, you will see a box with nodes surround that letter on your canvas.

Hold your click down on the centre node and move your letter to where you want it.Do the same with all other letters. You should end up with this
